Harry Hole, Martin Scorsese and a poll
As have been thoroughly announced, Martin Scorsese will be directing the coming Harry Hole-movie: The Snowman. The tabloids are competing in making wild guesses at the moment: Who will be playing Harry Hole?
From Harry Hole's Curriculum Vitae:
Born: 1963
Home: Oslo, Norway
Height: 6' 2" (192 cm)
Weight: 15 stone (95 kilos)
Description: Close-shaven blond hair, blue eyes, pale complexion.
Build: Athletic
Education: Law degree followed by training at Oslo Police College.
Rank: Inspector in Crime Squad, Oslo Police Force.
Career: Good but troubled cop who operates on his own personal code and often goes again superiors' instructions. He's faced the chop many times, but he gets results - and the truth is he's the best on the squad.
[Spoiler (click to open)]
Something of a celebrity after a career case that saw him track down a serial killer in Australia, he's often invited on TV shows to talk about his high-profile police work. He usually declines. In 1999 he was promoted to Inspector and seconded to the Norwegian security service for a major case. Foiled a former World War II soldier bent on destruction, caught a deadly bank robber, busted a gun-smuggling ring that reached right up to Oslo's most powerful circles, tracked a desperate hit man at large in Oslo.
Marital status: Single, but his heart belongs to Rakel Faulke, with whom he has a very complex relationship. He's a strong, if flawed, father figure to Rakel's son Oleg.
